Isaiah 14:6 (KJV)
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

Simple English

He who hit the people in anger again and again has been punished. He who ruled the nations in anger has been hunted down. No one can stop it.

Paraphrase

The one who beat down the people in fury—strike after relentless strike—the one who ruled nations in rage is now hunted down. And no one lifts a finger to stop it.
